A long awaited game, doesn't let down. And with a humongous cast for geeks and fanboys, what could go wrong?
Since they are using a 2 year old engine, they could have tried to make the graphics a little better. They seem to be from a game that would have come out 2 years ago... The music and sounds of the game are nothing new as well, a stylish soundtrack puts you in the mood for some major destruction, while unit one liners are as always.
What puts the game in front of many other rts' are the FMV's. It's been a while since we had a game that did that, and it's nice to see so many actors are willing to participate in them. I personally have a soft spot for Jennifer Morrison. The story line of CnC3 is a nice touch, although I haven't completed either side yet, I like the fact that they continue from previous Tiberium storylines.
The good:
-Finally a new CnC
-Easy learning curve for newbies
-Fast paced gameplay
-Works on older computers (like mine!)
-Nice soundtrack to put you in the mood for destruction
-Great acting, even from mr Lando (Billy Dee Williams)
-Continuing storyline from previous Tiberium games.
The bad:
-Could have done better graphics
-Some pathing errors... Some units just like to walk in the Tiberium...
-Nothing new
-The Kane Edition
And finally, here are 2 things that didn't sit well with me.
1 - The Kane Edition... Paying 10$(CAD) more for a "bonus" disc that contains a few maps, a few desktop wallpapers, and some bloopers is not the way to go... I would suggest getting the retail version...
2 - The replay posting is a nice little trick, but it doesn't hid the fact that there is nothing new with this game.
All in all, this game does what it is supposed to do, and does it really well. Let's hope the next installment won't take 4 years to come out and will have a few innovations...
